• Endowment: A robust endowment is crucial to any organization that depends on private support. The LAC is working to build a healthy and stable financial backbone, ensuring we are able to sustain our strategic growth and continue to provide first-rate services to our Central Montana community. Whether in the form of unrestricted endowment gifts, special purpose funds, or legacy and planned gifts, the LAC has multiple ways for donors to support its endowment. Donors might choose an outright gift, a deferred gift made today (often using the Montana Endowment Income Tax Credit), or with legacy gifts made through trusts and wills. The Art Center has an endowment fund set up through the Central Montana Foundation, making it easy to support multiple Central MT organizations with a single gift.
• Legacy Giving: The LAC’s Board of Directors understands the importance of a stable annual revenue stream and is committed to increasing the Art Center’s permanent endowment. Our staff is ready and willing to assist endowment donors in fulfilling their philanthropic dream of supporting art and culture in Central Montana. When donors leave a gift to the LAC in a will or other estate plans, they are creating a lasting legacy for arts and education, inspiring tomorrow’s artists and ensuring the LAC’s mission for generations to come. If you have included the LAC in your estate plans, informing us of those plans enables us to properly express our gratitude. We encourage you to reach out for more information on ways to give.
• Community Partners: The Lewistown Art Center partners with a wide variety of local businesses and organizations each year, all of them invested in ensuring Central Montana remains a hub of art, culture and education.
• Business Sponsorships: LAC Business Sponsors provide annual, flexible support. These funds help us invest in working artists, keep exhibits free and provide year-round arts programming. Annual contributions over $250 (cash or in-kind) entitle your organization to a variety of promotional benefits. Gifts are cumulative over 12 months. Begin with a Basic Sponsorship and become an Elite Sponsor by supporting programs you know and love – like Shakespeare in the Parks, Youth Education, Gallery Shows, or Cultural Events!
